West Street Hotel in Bar Harbor was named the #1 Hotel in New England by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler magazine (November 2015). The hotel also made the coveted Top 100 Hotels in the World list, coming in at #71 in the world. Additionally, the hotel was named the #8 on the Top 25 Hotels in the U.S. list.

West Street Hotel is Bar Harbor, Maine’s premiere boutique hotel, ideally located in the heart of downtown with stunning views of the picturesque Maine harbor, Frenchman’s Bay. The hotel also features Maine’s only rooftop pool.

"This recognition from readers of Condé Nast Traveler is extremely exciting for the hotel, especially given that we’ve only been open since 2012," said General Manager Chris Torrey. "We are extremely proud of these accolades and will continue to strive towards excellence in an effort to consistently deliver the best guest experience possible."

More than 128,000 travelers took part in the Condé Nast Traveler 28th annual Readers' Choice Awards survey—the most in its history—submitting millions of ratings and tens of thousands of comments.
